Sunday Singles: The Beau Brummels

Each week I digitize a 45 from my own personal collection and share it with the earholes of the internet. The Sunday Singles are not just for those planning a wedding, but for music lovers across the board. It’s a recollection of the past with the sound of vinyl against a needle and the warm song that results.

Side A:
You Tell Me Why

Side B:
I Want You

Sometimes compared to the Beatles and The Zombies, The Beau Brummels were an American rock band in the early sixties. While the original line-up was impacted by heath issues and the draft, they eventually all got back together in the 70s. At the height of their career they were teen heartthrobs and made appearances on all sorts of shows (including one of my favorites, Hullabaloo). The first song I heard by them was “I Want You” so I did a happy dance when it appeared as a B-side on this 45.
